Going Away Party for JOSEPH

Joseph is leaving for basic training for 16 weeks and so we had a surprise going away party for him at Steph and Jeff's house. McKell told him they were going to the movie.All the kids ran up and grabbed him when he came into the back yard. It was cute, he is such a fun uncle all the kids are really going to miss him!!We had some snacks and hung out just visiting and eating. It seems like we do alot of that in the Duvall's back yard.Here are some of the cousins posing for a picture. Max, Mallory, Creed, Keanu, Samantha and Pieper. They are all really close in age, it is so fun for them to have so many friends to play with!!I borrowed these pictures from Janean's blog, thanks for taking pictures Janean. Carrie made this awesome cake for Joseph, she is so talented. I know it will be hard for McKell and Joseph to be apart for so long and I hope the time goes by fast for them. He will be missed for sure but 4 months isn't that long and he will be back before we know it!!

Just a thought...

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you obtain happiness.

"You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough"

"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend. " — Albert Camus

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.

The bend in the road is not the end of the road,unless you refuse to take the turn.
